Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) education in the USA benefits from a long history, and establishes a relatively perfect education quality assurance system. Considering the relative short history of Chinese MLIS education, comparing and analyzing Chinese and American education quality guarantee system will provide a considerable reference for improving the constitution of China's MLIS education quality assurance system and development of library and information science.[Method/process] Through the network research method, this paper takes 31 schools that have the right of degree-conferring of MLIS in both China and USA as the research objects, and focuses on the characteristics and differences of education quality assurance system from the aspects of internal and external.[Result/conclusion] This paper puts forward some corresponding suggestions aiming at improving MLIS education quality assurance system in China. It will help China to set up a mixed MLIS education quality assurance system which universities, government and social organizations work together to promote the development of MLIS education.
